Tokyo Banana

Tokyo Banana is one of my favourite food in the world. I am not exaggerating this fact or promoting this food for anyone but this is really something I will never say NO to. Everytime I step feet into Japan, the first thing that comes to my mind is I need to get my hand on this.

Tokyo Banana can be found in Tokyo. That's obvious right? Haha... A lot of tourist will not return home without a box of this. It can be commonly found in the shopping areas and of course, the airport. Other then Tokyo, you can also get this from most of the international airport in Japan but I can't promise on this.

Since this is so nice, you might be wondering why is this only found in Japan. While, it has a super short shelf live, usually about a week long to a few days. The one I bought in Tokyo has a shelf life of 9 days while the one I bought in Kyushu international airport has a shelf life of 5 days only. I guess they don't deliver this to Kyushu on a daily basis. LOL!

I ususally purchased the smaller box. It comes in pack of 8 pieces, all wrapped individually. A box will cost about S$15. It is really expensive for a bananan cake but who to blame except me. I simply can't resist this.

Tokyo Banana is actually a sponge cake with banana cream filling. It's soft and not too sweet. Once you start on it, you will just simply continuing popping one after another into your mouth. Well, you will need to exercise some self control over here. After all, it is not available in Singapore and it is really very expensive. You will start to feel the heart ache if you really finish up the whole box at one go.
